Reviews:
Chris reviewed indoor squirrels at Yosemite [awesome] and he had a wonderful time there - worth missing ComicCon for & reviewed cheese at the Oakdale Cheese & Specialty Company as OMG the cheese!
[tall] Kevin reviewed indoor lizard as Ferney was very hot, he saw a coyote & deer grazing with cows - & reviewed Westercon as better than he thought it would be - the Alternate Tonopah party was well received and the Westercon business meeting lasted 7 minutes; there were tons of Westercon follow-ons = Bill didn't care for the con layout; Carole was on 7 panels & the Masquerade was tiny; Dave was stuck in the Deaer's room -which was hidden nearly from view- signage was non-existant; Kevin & Andy's party rocked & Dave learned his 'Invader Zim' Tshirt was a drunk chick magnet; Reg badges were truncated and badly spelled; Lisa had an interesting time & found the Dealer's Room! & had fun
Fred told people to watch for the movie 'Play Dead' that's coming out soon; he saw it unofficially & it's really good and interesting - he recommends it
Ric reviewed ComicCon as line standing was exhausting, it was REALLY crowded; he took 1040 pictures which are posted at fanboyplanet.com & Facebook; he got Gail Carriger swag, saw lots of 'Walking Dead' stuff & thought it was worth full price
Diane reviewed 'London Eye - Toxic City' by Tim Lebbon as interesting, with good characters, a quick read & fun
Adrienne reviewed 'Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter' as she enjoyed it, but was not impressed, worth matinee; John O agreed and opined that it was badly edited & that they mucked with history in ways that were annoying, not clever
Harold reviewed marinetraffic.com as a wonderful time sink - interesting & kinda fun
Lisa reviewed taking the train to Seattle as they were late to Seattle and on time back - and the beds were rock hard
Josh reviewed 'Yellow Submarine' at the Retrodome as a lot of fun [and there were lots of follow-ons]
I reviewed spending time at the Kaiser emergency room with Trey as I'm glad the visit proved productive
Ed reviewed the new Laundry book by Charlie Stross as interesting
Carole reviewed visiting Hurricane Ridge as gorgeous and she got a lot of good photos
we did auctions
we adjourned at 9:54 pm
and the rumor of the week was: 'Everything I learned about Robert's Rules I learned at BASFA'
